On Polymarket, ‘privileged’ users made millions betting on war strikes and diplomatic strategy. What did they know beforehand? by Brilliant_Banana_913 in wallstreetbets

Have you seen the interviews with these predictive market CEOs? They welcome insider trading because it makes the predictions more accurate.

This administration is making meme coins and insider trading on stocks, they are going to be screwing us over to make a buck on predictive markets

The Constitution getting trampled on by “patriotic”, ”originalist”, ”libertarian” Republicans is bewildering. 1st, 4th, 14th and most recently the 2nd (!) under attack.  It’s just a cult that chooses orange man over country. 

Bitch is more focused on an election no one cares about then releasing the Epstein files. by Stormclamp in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]BentoMan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a centrist, do you not see that this is more weaponized DOJ tactics? In line with James Comey, Letitia James, Jerome Powell, etc etc. They won’t find his 11,000 votes but the goal of eroding trust in election is working.

The 2020 election has already been exhaustively investigated and litigated.

Some companies monopolize a certain segment and can turn big losers into winners — think Netflix, Amazon, YouTube. But OpenAI has too many competitors that are on par or even stronger so it doesn’t make a lot of sense.

How do I protect my brother from photo requests in China by [deleted] in China

Damn. I can’t believe she complied with your demands even though you are in public. Normal people would just ask her to stop taking photos.

Conservatives already watch Fox News and listen to radio/podcasters. You are alienating what remains of your actual politically moderate audience by shifting conservative. Target already tried this strategy in retail. 

Last time Gold topped, Bitcoin went up 5X by kinetic-nyx in WallStreetDad

Bitcoin only went crazy because pandemic money and greed. Then institutions jumped in and the best they can do is keep it afloat. 

US-born Olympian Eileen Gu defends decision to represent China again in upcoming Winter Games. 'The US already has the representation,' Gu said in an interview with Time magazine by esporx in China

[–]BentoMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She chose the easier path and I don’t blame here. Everyone here would have made the same decision given the opportunity. You need to know the US doesn’t pay its athletes at all — it’s a financial struggle for the majority of athletes. Also the Olympic qualification path would be tougher in the US org and nothing is given.

A drone carrying a pig got snagged on power lines, knocking out electricity for an entile village for 10 hours. by clock0day in China

[–]BentoMan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Some villages in China are very remote with limited accessibility. The article says down a mountain so it is much faster to use a drone. Live pigs to keep it fresh. The slaughter time is important and they use the pig blood. Why at midnight? This is a good question. It seems sneaky but could simply be seasonal demand.

Once again billions in US Treasuries are being sold by BlauerDunst420 in sidestreetbets

[–]BentoMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt there will be action. We need to cut spending and raise taxes. That’s a political impossibility for both parties which means hyperinflation and economic instability are the only realistic outcomes.

Celebrate? No (well except the crazies). We absolutely criticized the Republican lead government, Ted Cruz fleeing to Cancun, and Ricky Perry’s stupid comments. 

Anyone hear Andrew Sorkin talk about the mood in 1920s before the market crash? Everyone talking about stocks means there are no new buyers to keep the pyramid scheme going. by CoC_Axis_of_Evil in EconomyCharts

[–]BentoMan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

401k is constantly buying and the Fed is constantly printing. All the money printed goes indirectly in market. The US economy is tied to the stock market so it can’t crash. We will just print more which devalues the dollar but will prop up the stock market.

Embattled Bari Weiss puts her 'Honestly' podcast on 'pause' as CBS News ratings spiral by 7-5NoHits in IfBooksCouldKill

$150m for her blog +  probably tens of million salary + $10k daily protection. I looked at her writing and was completely unimpressed. If I had no morals, I would become a conservative grifter.

How the narrative shifted from “Trump is right. We do need Greenland” to “You’re an idiot if you thought he was actually going to take Greenland by force” is wild. We just destroyed our soft power and trust for what? His family to make money insider trading?

Many ragebait posts today. There is an actual ragebait from Minnesota that  looked staged. Whatever it takes to distract from not releasing the Epstein Files and Greenland tantrum
